    How long to cook lamb chops in air fryer

    For the brand of my air fryer, which is the Probreeze XL 5.5 litres, I cook at a temperature of 400F/200C. The timing recommendations are

    Rare: 4 - 6 minutes. Flip the lamb halfway through cooking.

    Medium rare: Cook for 7- 8 minutes flipping halfway through cooking.

    Well done: 10 - 12 minutes

    Note that this depends on the thickness of the chops and timing slightly differs with the air fryer brand. Phillips, Cosori, Power Xl, Ninja are some of the popular brands. You can add more time if required.

    Air Fryer Frozen Lamb Chops

    You can cook from frozen. To do this, deglaze any ice if unseasoned then season and arrange on the AF basket in a single layer. Add additional 5 minutes to the recommended cooking time above if cooking from frozen.

    Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature to make sure it’s at least 145F for medium or welldone. That is when it’s safe to eat.
